You ought to be able to; what parallel port device drivers are you
using along with parport_arm? Perhaps one of them is trying to do
special things that it shouldn't do with port->base. From their point
of view it's only supposed to be there for informational purposes, and
it's not for them to actually use (since they don't know how to).
This sounds like a bug elsewhere in the kernel. :-(
